all the so called FLOPS lately made me ask this. when gs says 8 and every other site says 9.5 what do you think? or the other way around, gs says 9 and other reviews say 7. just wondering how do you guys make the final call? does one person on one site make up your mind for you or do you go with an average of everyone?does gs make agame a flop for you or does everyone else? a most fair and balanced question if i do say so myself.

No, I usually trust gamerankings/IGN over GS as far as reviews go, since they still use the 1-point increment systems.

Of course not. Gamespot reviews are one man's opinion. You gather a variety of informed opinions before attempting to arrive at a consensus on something.

no i dont really trust GS much or any other websites for that matter. (although i might go to GR for more opinions).

i tend to listen to my friends more often as theyt have a similer taste to what i do.

Yes. I think IGN overrates most games and Gametrailers are just blind.

why?

GameSpot seems to be the only site that plays through the whole game before reviewing it.
